Like with ungoogled-chromium and firefox-esr, LibreWolf = Community-maintained fork of Firefox, focused on privacy, security and freedom is now officially in our universe repo. The build is same as the AUR version.
You need to add the following to your /etc/pacman.conf
[universe]
Server = https://universe.artixlinux.org/$arch
and install it with:
pacman -S librewolf
I've just installed. Thank you very much.
DRM CompatibilityDigital rights management (DRM) is enforced off by default (this is needed for Netflix and similar); you can enable it with the following instructions:
Open librewolf.cfg (/usr/lib/librewolf/librewolf.cfg)
- Comment the active lines with // under the subsection User Settings: DRM/CDM - Widevine ->
//lockPref("media.gmp-widevinecdm.visible", false);
//lockPref("media.gmp-widevinecdm.enabled", false);
//lockPref("media.gmp-widevinecdm.autoupdate", false);
- Restart Firefox then open about:preferences and enable Play DRM... under general section
Firefox will download Widevine and enable it (under about:addons plugins section) you can force the download by clicking Check for updates under the tools button
plus some useful addons: https://librewolf-community.gitlab.io/docs/addons/
When I enter to "Settings" I received a message "Your browser is being managed by your organization." Is this normal? I've been searching in the web and It could be related for some extensions. All the tutorials to disable the message are for Firefox. But I just want to be sure if this message is normal.
yes, because it is firefox/mozilla-fork
Hello,
I wonder i it is possible to install librewolf alongside firefox?
thank you
of course, librewolf create own folder, and firefox have own folder too.
Language
Latest version is based at Firefox 79, so you can use language packages from Firefox too:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/79.0/linux-x86_64/xpi/
updated to Librewolf 80 with VAAPI support for X11 (finally after so many years!!)
for enabling VAAPI HW acceleration please https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox#Hardware_video_acceleration
Librewolf has been updated to 84.0
I have added the Server info in my
. After issuing
sudo pacman -Syu
when I tried to install by
sudo pacman -Sy librewolf
nothing happens. Do I need to obtain and import public key for this repository? If so please advise.
I am able to view the directory listings from the browser and hence the repo is reachable to me.
please read the whole topic, from the beginning = the first post in this topic
Reading makes work easier and saves time 8) ;D
Thanks mate. It was a typo in my /etc/pacman.conf. I have commented the [universe] header. My bad. Thanks a lot mate. I now have the librewolf.

They havn't turned off all of the telemetry but the main parts which normally tell Firefox where the mothership is have been removed. So it might be trying to phone home but not be able to locate the mothership.
Browser 'Favicons' Can Be Used as Undeletable 'Supercookies' To Track You Online
https://it.slashdot.org/story/21/02/09/1920256/browser-favicons-can-be-used-as-undeletable-supercookies-to-track-you-online
about:config ->
browser.chrome.site_icons -> toggle "false"
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.favicon -> toggle "false"
Is it enough?
@Artist Just checking, will librewolf switch to another repo or remain in universe? Currently, with the pacman update, it is necessary to manually add the lines from the OP to
/etc/pacman.conf.
@strajderAt least for now librewolf will stay in the universe repo.
Yesterday it was updated to 89.0.
You might also have a look at firedragon (https://dr460nf1r3.me/), a fork from librewolf, which currently also is in universe.

Thanks, I'll take a look. Now to search for some addon which disables this awful, huge and clumsy new UI... 😕
Edit: Found one: https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix
Hello, Librewolf is in version 95. I see firedragon has been updated in repositories. Is there any special reason why Librewolf is not updated yet?
librewolf has been updated to 98.0

Since the update to LibreWolf 100.0, the shortcuts and also web search activated under settings in the home tab, are no longer displayed, when starting the browser.
Does anyone know if this is a new feature of LibreWolf or if it is simply a bug?
Greets Roberto
I am using it as a second browser
+
LibreWolf has already been updated to 100.0.
Since the last update to LibreWolf 100.0.2 the shortcuts on the start page are displayed again.
So it seems that it was a display issue of the browser, which was fixed by the update.
Is LibreWolf for Artix still maintained ? I can't find it and trying to build it fails :'(
You can always install the binary version (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/librewolf-bin) from the AUR :)
As far as I remember, Librewolf is advertised in the installation. I think that we should remove it as we redirect users to the arch repos
Librewolf indeed does not build: https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,5922.msg36908.html#msg36908
Firedragon is available in our Galaxy repo and will be kept up-to-date again from now on.
Also, there is Ungoogled Chromium in Galaxy.

The developers of the firedragon browser have stopped updating it. This until they have completed the rebase which should result in firedragon-next.
The librewolf browser package librewolf-121.0-1-x86_64 is now available in the Artix omniverse repository, and - provided the builds succeed - will be kept up-to-date.
artist
I am afraid that I do not see it:
$ pacman -Sl omniverse | grep libre | wc -l
0
Are the repos on the main page (https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories#Omniverse) current?
https://artix.sakamoto.pl/omniverse was not updated since september.
